Bill > H1748

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which provides a legal framework for fiduciaries (such as personal representatives, conservators, agents, and trustees) to access and manage the digital assets of a deceased, incapacitated, or principal individual. Key provisions include allowing users to direct custodians (digital service providers) to disclose or not disclose their digital assets, establishing procedures for fiduciaries to request access to digital assets, and outlining the duties and authority of fiduciaries with respect to digital assets. The bill also addresses issues around terms of service agreements, disclosure of electronic communications content, and custodian compliance and immunity.
